Modifying Annotation
You can modify all aspects of labels and flow arrows. For information on modifying annotation such as tags
and schedules, see
Creating Construction Documents
on page 547.
Modifying a Label
After you place a label in your drawing, you can apply a new style, change the spacing along the object, or
change how it is displayed. You can use grips to add or remove individual labels from an object, or offset a
label from the object.
A label is updated dynamically if the object to which it is attached is modified. For example, if the size of
the duct, cable tray, or duct is modified, the label attached to it reflects the change in size.
